Re: Charlotte
It's lovely and gray, with silky pink accents. It's floral without being your grandmother's couch. It's white lace and meadows and fresh spring scents, and slim, white hands that have never been exposed to back-breaking work. It's sweetness and light, but it isn't simple or dim-witted. It's a girl who isn't going to accept the first marriage offer, because she is holding out for something better. It's a girl with backbone who doesn't have to swing a sword. And that is why I like Charlotte. :) "And by the way, dearie, your punctuation sucks canal water!"

I have a theory. My dumpy, frizzy brown-haired, thick glasses and orthopedic shoes-wearing, virgin-not-by-choice Charlotte was all those things when she was young, but it turned out she held out too long and there was nothing better, so now she's bitter and let herself go.

Elizabeth / Lizzy / Eliza got Mr. Darcy.Charlotte got stuck with Mr. Collins because she was too afraid of becoming a spinster to hold out for someone better.

To be fair, I said a Mr. Darcy type . Charlotte can be just as spunky as Elizabeth, says I.

I agree that Charlotte can be spunky. I just think that's an ironic example.
